The Fermi Gamma-Ray Space Telescope has discovered many gamma-ray pulsars, both as radio-loud objects and radio-quiet or radio-weak pulsars that have been identified through blind period searches. The latter presumably have gamma-ray beams…
In more than four years of observation the Large Area Telescope on board the Fermi satellite has identified pulsed $\gamma$-ray emission from more than 80 young pulsars, providing light curves with high statistics. Fitting the observations…
The high-quality Fermi LAT observations of gamma-ray pulsars have opened a new window to understanding the generation mechanisms of high-energy emission from these systems. The high statistics allow for careful modeling of the light curve…
We describe a comprehensive pulsar monitoring campaign for the Large Area Telescope (LAT) on the {\em Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope} (formerly GLAST). The detection and study of pulsars in gamma rays give insights into the populations of…
We report our search for \gamma-ray emission in the energy range from 100 MeV to 300 GeV from four Accreting Millisecond Pulsars (AMPs), SAX J1808.4-3658, IGR J00291+5934, XTE J1814-338, and XTE J0929-314. The data are from four-year…
At high-energy gamma-rays (>100 MeV) the Large Area Telescope (LAT) on the Fermi satellite already detected more than 145 rotation-powered pulsars (RPPs), while the number of pulsars seen at soft gamma-rays (20 keV - 30 MeV) remained small.…
The prevalent view that the radio-loud gamma-ray pulsars have gamma-ray luminosities that exceed their radio luminosities by several orders of magnitude is based on the assumption that the decay with distance of their gamma-ray fluxes obeys…
Context: The Crab pulsar is a bright $\gamma$-ray source detected at photon energies up to $\sim$1 TeV. Its phase-averaged and phase-resolved $\gamma$-ray spectra below 10 GeV exhibit exponential cutoffs while those above 10 GeV apparently…
We estimate the contribution of Galactic pulsars, both ordinary and millisecond pulsars (MSPs), to the high-energy (>100 MeV) gamma-ray background. We pay particular attention to the high-latitude part of the background that could be…
Pulsed high energy radiation from pulsars is not yet completely understood. In this paper, we use the 3D self-consistent annular gap model to study light curves for both young and millisecond pulsars observed by the Fermi Gamma-ray Space…
We analytically investigate the condition for a particle accelerator to be active in the outer magnetosphere of a rotation-powered pulsar. Within the accelerator (or the gap), magnetic-field-aligned electric field accelerates electrons and…
Pulsed emission from gamma-ray pulsars originates inside the magnetosphere, from radiation by charged particles accelerated near the magnetic poles or in the outer gaps. In polar cap models, the high energy spectrum is cut off by magnetic…
Fermi has detected over 200 pulsars above 100 MeV. In a previous work, using 3 years of LAT data (1FHL catalog) we reported that 28 of these pulsars show emission above 10 GeV; only three of these, however, were millisecond pulsars (MSPs).…
PSR J0437-4715 is a gamma-ray millisecond pulsar, which has been detected by Fermi-LAT. For understanding the nature, we analyze the GeV gamma-ray data obtained with Fermi-LAT around the pulsar region. Based on the pulsar timing ephemeris,…
Transitional millisecond pulsars (tMSPs) represent a crucial link between the rotation-powered and accretion-powered states of binary pulsars. During their active X-ray state, tMSPs are the only low-mass X-ray binary systems detected up to…
Millisecond pulsars (MSPs) are a leading explanation of the Galactic Center excess (GCE) observed in Fermi-LAT data. We constrain this scenario by jointly modeling prompt and inverse-Compton $\gamma$ rays from MSP-injected $e^\pm$ on the…
Observations by the Large Area Telescope (LAT) on the \textit{Fermi} mission of diffuse $\gamma$-rays in a mid-latitude region in the third quadrant (Galactic longitude $l$ from $200\arcdeg$ to $260\arcdeg$ and latitude $| b |$ from…
The LAT instrument on the Fermi Gamma-Ray Space Telescope is performing an all-sky survey from 20 MeV to 300 GeV with unprecedented statistics and angular resolution. This is providing a wealth of new information on the non-thermal emission…

The First \fermi-LAT Catalog of Sources Above 10 GeV reported evidence of pulsed emission above 25 GeV from 12 pulsars, including the Vela pulsar, which showed evidence of pulsation at $>37$ GeV energy bands. Using 62 months of \fermi-LAT…
